Custom Animation Studio/Workstation
Overview
Concept & 3D Planning
Before anything was built physically, I designed and rendered the entire space in Autodesk Maya and Luxion's Keyshot. This allowed me to visualize the aesthetics, experiment with layout options, and ensure a seamless blend of design and function.
Designing in 3D first gave me full control over how everything would look and feel before a single screw was turned.
Designed as a compact animation studio, this personalized setup blends creativity, comfort, and character. Bright white walls create a clean backdrop, customizable framed art, and natural touches like plants and a handmade log planter bring warmth and personality. Built for digital design, 3D visualization, editing, and casual gaming, the space supports a flexible creative workflow. Inspired by a deep love for movies, games, rock music, and visual storytelling, every element was chosen to feel both functional and personal — a space that works hard and feels like home.
Back Wall: Custom-built with wooden panels and hidden cable raceways to achieve a super clean, wireless look.
Floating Shelf: Floating shelves hold books and showcase decor.
Floating Display: Repurposed a 32" TV and framed it into the wall for live time and system stats display.
Desk: A solid, custom-made tabletop built with the help of local carpenters to handle heavy gear and fit the space exactly.
Main Monitor: 27" 4K panel – perfect for accurate color grading and 3D renders.
Keyboards: A trio of mechanical keyboards (Logitech G613, Keychron, Corsair K57)
Mouse: Logitech G903 Lightspeed – low lag, ambidextrous, and built for precision.
Audio:
-Speakers: Edifier with a wooden finish, balanced sound across all ranges.
